Kyle Williams joins Chiefs, hopes to play Sunday

Wide receiver Kyle Williams says that he hopes to be able to contribute to the Kansas City Chiefs in Denver this weekend, even though he only joined the team on Wednesday.

Williams was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers a day earlier, and didn't arrive in Kansas City until after midnight. He spent his first day in the practice facility trying to get up to speed in time for Sunday night's showdown against the Broncos.

It's possible that he'll be able to play on special teams, but Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said it would be unfair to expect Williams to contribute on that side of the ball.

Williams said he's willing to help out where the Chiefs need him.
